What does it mean?
"Chido" is a quintessentially Mexican word for "cool" or "nice". It's slightly more casual than "padre" and feels more close-friend-flavoured. Common across CDMX and the rest of Mexico — but best with friends, not in formal contexts.
How to use it
Casual / close-friend register. Great with friends, peers, and informal conversations. Avoid in business writing, with elders, or in service contexts where you don't know the person.
Example sentences
That place is so cool.
Está bien chido el lugar.
How nice, thanks!
¡Qué chido, gracias!
Sounds cool, let's do it.
Suena chido, vamos.
